Victory brought promotions and honours across the British officer corps. Graves and Hood received peerages, while several other senior officers became baronets. Bowyer and Pasley each received a £1,000 annual pension for severe wounds. All first lieutenants were promoted to commander, and other officers received advancement for their actions. A memorial to John Hutt and John Harvey, who died of their wounds, was raised in Westminster Abbey.
